Removed Lines
Hi Guys,

I am using SunOS 5.9 running Oracle Databases on it...

I have log files that I suspect that some lines within the logs where removed.

How do I tell if indeed some lines within a particular file where removed and by whom?

Thanks in advance

1. there is no way to tell which lines were removed, if any.
2. If the file was edited it may have changed ownership, if users cannot log on
as the owner of the file
Code:
ls -l filename.log

You should not have regular users able to log on as the oracle user. Assuming you want data integrity.

Thanks a lot...

We are team of about four so everyone is having access to those logs...

Is it possible to trace the files that were deleted on the server and by who?
